All About Philodendron ‘Ring of Fire’

As a rare Philodendron, the Ring of Fire is on the top of a lot of wish lists! What makes it so remarkable? Long, green, serrated leaves are kissed by surprising splashes of yellow and lime green. This multi-colored variegation means that the Philodendron Ring of Fire plant requires more light than other lookalikes, such as the Jungle Boogie. Aside from that, this is a no-fuss exotic plant!

The Best Unboxing Practices:

Properly caring for your newly unboxed Philodendron Ring of Fire for the first week of its new life is crucial to the extended wellness of your plant. Follow these practices to get the best results:

• Watering: Exotic Forest ships freshly watered plants. Do not water your Philodendron Ring of Fire until it exhibits the proper signs.
• Repotting: Do not immediately repot your plant, which would likely result in shock and leaf-loss. Allow it to acclimate to its new environment for at least one week.
• Lighting: Place your Philodendron in filtered, low light for a few days to acclimate. Relocate your Philodendron Ring of Fire to your desired location that fits its care needs afterward. Do not ever place a freshly un-boxed plant in direct sun.
